UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer Resigns, Will Remain MP

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced his resignation after two years in office, citing insufficient support within his party and poor poll performances. He will continue to serve as a Member of Parliament for his constituency, according to a Downing Street spokesperson.

Starmer told his cabinet that, while his tenure as prime minister is ending, the work of the government will carry on, emphasizing the Labour Party’s need for stability and success in the next administration. The decision follows a series of local election setbacks and mounting internal pressure on Labour’s leadership.
